[Health] Pressure Difference Effects Hearing?
#1
Pressure Difference Effects Hearing?
The eustachian tube equalizes the pressure on both sides of the eardrum.  Could the use of a CPAP effect hearing by forcing an unequal pressure inside the ear?  My ears are constantly ringing in the morning after using my CPAP.

RE: Pressure Difference Effects Hearing?
It can, yes. If you've just started using a CPAP, it should clear up soon. If not, talk to your GP about sending you to an ENT for a checkup.

Could also not be related to CPAP, just that you are noticing it now. Another reason to see your GP and/or ENT.
